What age should you use retinol?

‘When it comes to age it’s less important what the number is but more important to consider the biological age of your skin,’ explains Dr Stefanie Williams. ‘From your mid-thirties collagen production starts to deplete so in principle everybody could start using retinol then. However, if your skin has any signs of premature ageing or has been subjected to sun damage or other environmental or lifestyle factors you might start showing signs of ageing earlier. In which case you can start using retinol in your late 20s or early 30s.’

THINGS TO NOTE

If your skin is sensitive, then I recommend you to use gentle products for daily skin care. In this way, you will be helping yourself with the maximum output from retinol.

Retinol effect reduces to zero if air or light are in contact with it. So, tight packing should be used.

If we talk about a good time for retinol application, then summer is the best time as it gives less irritation.

RETINOL SIDE EFFECTS

No doubt, Retinol is giving a positive response before and after its use. But some negative aspects also show presence. It causes redness and produces irritation. These side effects may happen but patience is the only solution. Wait for some weeks and patience will bring out ease and freshness.

You think a retinoid will make your skin sun-sensitive. “This is one of the biggest retinoid myths,” says Doris Day, MD, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center (and a Tazorac user herself). “The ingredient itself is sensitive to sunlight, which is why you should apply it before bed at night.” A retinoid shouldn’t make your skin any more vulnerable to UV rays than it would be after buffing away dead skin with a face scrub. Summer is actually a good time to start a retinoid: Humidity makes your skin less likely to dry out as it adjusts. Of course, apply sunscreen (SPF 30, at least) as diligently as you always do.

You’re afraid your skin will look worse before it gets better. Retinoids can cause dryness, redness, and flaking?but if you ease in, you can avoid a rough transition**. For the first two weeks, apply a retinoid every third night, says Leslie Baumann, MD, director of the Cosmetic Medicine and Research Institute at the University of Miami (who uses Atralin). If your skin isn’t irritated, ramp up to every other night for two weeks. Not dry or flaky? Go for it every night. A few other irritation-mitigating guidelines: Wait 15 minutes after washing your face before you apply a retinoid, and use one pea-size dab to cover your whole face. After a few minutes, apply a basic moisturizer to prevent dryness.

Additonal Retinol facts to consider: ??

Don’t use a retinoid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Waxing can cause excess redness on retinoid-treated skin; don’t use a retinoid for several days before a treatment.

A small percentage of people with ultrasensitive skin can never tolerate a retinoid; if you’re one of them, use a gentle physical exfoliator twice a week to soften your skin, and be extra-conscientious about sunscreen to prevent collagen loss in the first place.
